Srixon ZX5

The ZX5 is Srixon's players-distance iron for 2021, notable for the Tour VT sole, a variable-width sole that narrows at the toe for turf interaction on tight lies and widens at the heel for stability from rough. The 28.5-degree 7-iron loft is in the stronger range and the SpeedGroove on the leading edge added ball speed from off-center low-face contact. On the used market Srixon irons consistently sell below equivalent Titleist, Ping, and TaylorMade models despite competitive performance, which makes the ZX5 a value-buy for a golfer who prioritizes performance over brand recognition. Shaft matching matters: the stock Dynamic Gold 105 is a mid-weight steel that suits most mid-handicappers.
